This symbol on the product, the battery or on
the packaging indicates that the product and
the battery shall not be treated as household
waste. On certain batteries this symbol might
be used in combination with a chemical
symbol. The chemical symbols for mercury
(Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery
contains more than 0.0005% mercury or
0.004% lead. By ensuring these products and
batteries are disposed of correctly, you will
help prevent potentially negative
consequences for the environment and
human health which could otherwise be
caused by inappropriate waste handling. The
recycling of the materials will help to conserve
natural resources.

performance or data integrity reasons require
a permanent connection with an incorporated
battery, this battery should be replaced by
qualified service staff only. To ensure that the
battery and the electrical and electronic
equipment will be treated properly, hand over
these products at end-of-life to the applicable
collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. For all other
